The B-1 bomber fleet, including those stationed at Dyess Air Force Base, will resume flight operations this week following a directed safety stand-down ordered June 7.

The stand-down allowed the command time to thoroughly evaluate the ejection seat components and determine potential risks before returning to flight, according to a media release from Air Force Global Strike command Tuesday.

The order comes after an emergency landing of a Dyess B-1 in Midland on May 1 prompted an investigation revealing problems with the long-range bomber’s ejection seat components.

“We have high confidence that the fleet’s egress systems are capable and the fleet is ready to return to normal flight operations,” said Maj. Gen. Thomas Bussiere, 8th Air Force Commander, responsible for the Air Force bomber force.

The investigation of the system is ongoing, according to the news release.
